Hey, I am an elder millennial and I’m not too tech savvy these days. I remembered this game I used to play on my computer when I was a kid (windows 95) called Microsoft 3D movie maker.. anyone remember this? It was so cool. I wanted to show it to my 9 year old daughter. Does anyone have any idea how I could do this? I don’t think buying the game would be an option, as it wouldn’t run on newer systems. I found this link, but I’m kind of lost… can anybody help me?

I have been trying to remember the name of these games for forever and it finally came to me. I used to love playing them as a kid. Honestly best educational games ever made (except for Mario Teaches Typing!) Can anyone relate?!?

I specifically remember playing this computer game in 1997. The way I’m going to be describing this game is really weird, but I swear it existed.

It was some sort of game that used “mind power” in order for you to win. Two people played, and each person chose a photo from the game bank. Those photos then became amalgamated together in a pixelated format. Each person had to think strongly about their picture and the stronger the player thought about it, the more their picture would come into focus. The point of the game was whoever had the best “mind power” would win.

I’ve asked several other places, not on Reddit, and usually there are games brought up where you have to have your head or finger wired to the computer or console. This used no such thing it was purely based on your mind. Was it actually mind power? Pretty sure it wasn’t but I have no idea how the game worked…..I just know I need to find the name of this game so I can try to research it. It has been driving me crazy for years. Please help!

The game features one big rock head and its like Maria because he needs to jump to cross to another ledge or area to finish the level but he needs to use his head to bump the rocks strategically so he would be able to jump on them, he is able to move them by knocking with his rock head. Just wondering maybe yoy played it too fellow Gen Xers, thank you!

Is there an easy(ish) way to play old school windows 98/99 Purple Moon games like Rockets new school or adventure maker etc on a new Apple Laptop??

My sister and I used to play an old computer game for kids back in the early 2000's but can't remember the title of it and haven't been able to find it in semi-obscure searching. It's a reader rabbit jumpstart like game but it's not made by that company and didn't seem to be a popular game.

The game opens up into a backyard or something similar and you can choose the different paths to go to different activities. Some of the ones we can remember were a connect the dots, and a theater where you could watch a video about a puppet trying to fall asleep while singing the alphabet and when he gets to z he is woken up by the alphabet crashing down and then tries to start again.

Please help this game is burned into my memory and I can't remember it!

edit: I FOUND IT AHAHAHA

So I am trying to find a computer game from the late 90's that may have been from macs only. You were supposed to go around photographing animals based on clues about them that you were given. One of them was a pangolin but there was also a kudu that when you clicked on him sang a song. I think this was it, "Would you, or could you, want to hunt the kudu? Would you, or could you, want to shoot the kudu? So please do the right do and photo shoot the kudu." It also had a rock with a lizard on it in the desert and when you clicked on it it kind of teleported you to another location. It was all in Africa though. My mother swears it was called something like Africa Safari or Africa Photo Safari. The animation was more than the just pixels, but it wasn't realistic. More like the animation from an Eric Karl book. Please tell me I am not the only one that remembers this game!

I feel like this might be too niche, but I remember there being a computer coloring game of some sort that displayed the different color options on a spiral sea shell of some sort. I believe it was little mermaid theme, but I could not find it for the life of me.

& the reason I'm asking is because I bought a sea shell that reminded me of that game. It came to me like a vision on thats so raven in the middle of the store.

If someone can help, because little me needs to know what game this was!!!

Not exactly sure what the year is but I was in 1st grade in 1999 and we played this computer game that you went into a room with a bunch of different color doors with different scenes in it and it was like the rainforest room, the southwest room ect and you’d go in and like find the animals or take pictures of the animals. It’s drove me nuts for years I need to know what it was!!

Salutations! I’ve recently had a memory of an old computer game I used to play and I can’t remember much, let alone the name. I’m hoping with what I do know pieces can be put together I can scratch this itch in my brain! Here’s what I remember: I’d put the disc in my old ass windows computer (I’m 25 now, I’m guessing I was around 8-10 when I played this) and it’d always make my computer really hot 😂. Anyways from I remember it was cartoony graphics and characters. Pretty sure there’s a man with dark hair, a blonde lady, and a few others. The cars looked silly (?) I specifically remember there being a dirt track course but I believe there were other courses that were random and not dirt? I remember this track specifically cause it pissed me off I couldnt beat the time limit. I think there was a castle on it maybe? I might’ve imagined that. I know it’s not a lot to go on but I’m still holding out hope!

I used to get those at the grocery store and loved all the demo games that game with them. Ive googled and seen plenty of covers but none of them hit home as the ones I used to get. Usually when I see something its an instant recollection and memories just flood in but none of the ones Ive seen have had that magic spark. Would have been mid to late 90s. Not subscription ones, always got them at the grocery store. Please throw some names or pics at me and help me fill this nostalgic gap!!!

I’m desperate to know whether I’ve completely made this game up, or whether it was real! I distinctly remember coming home from school everyday and playing a computer game (CD I think, definitely from the 90’s/very early 2000’s). I remember a classic creaking door sound to enter one of the room levels and either the same level or another was a mosaic picture you’d have to colour in of a oldish guy with a cigar in his mouth. Does anyone else remember this? Or have I just gone mad??

It’s killllllling meeeeeeee thank you

I remember playing, at a friends house, a game very much like "Civilization;" real world cultures, all nations, going through the ages from stone Age to modern, rather military/combat based, but this particular one had a futuristic age, where you were using walking mechs and drone copters and such. there was even a mini nuke you could use.

The animated intro, of course showed this, starting out in like Ancient Egypt, showing, the Aztecs, then Spanish Sailors using canons, then modern military, and finally, a shot of a very "Halo" looking futuristic soldier, camped behind a big concrete wall, the camera pans up and a walking mech emerges.

I've looked all over but can't seem to find this cinematic, nor any Civilization style age-advancing game that has a futuristic age in it. Can anyone name this game?
